Oppressive Taxes And Tariffs, Vol. 1

Since the dawn of established governments various ruling bodies have sought out one means after another of drawing money from citizens and passing travelers alike. While nations, kingdoms, and communities that we create in our role playing fantasy worlds are purely the basis of our own leisure fiction there is no reason that we cannot have a bit of fun of our own when it comes to oppressing the financial gains of the adventurer and the villager alike. Oppressing Taxes And Tariffs, Volume 1 contains over thirty different ways to bleed that extra bit of coinage out of those who are already struggling to get by in your fantasy realm.

Designed to be compatible with most forms of paper and dice, fantasy role playing games, the taxes and tariffs provided in this book can be easily incorporated into your own fantasy campaign.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books.
